Hallmark fans, your holiday movie habit could come with a cash prize! The 2026 Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas Movie Game Sweepstakes is open, with a $20,000 cash grand prize and 11 weekly $1,000 cash prizes, plus Spoonful of Comfort gift cards. No purchase is necessary.

What can you win?

• One grand prize: $20,000 cash by check and a $250 Spoonful of Comfort gift card, worth $20,250 total.
• 11 weekly prizes: $1,000 cash plus that week’s Spoonful of Comfort care-package component, awarded as a gift card. Weekly prize values range from $1,099.99 to $1,184.99.

There are 12 prizes available, worth $32,759.89 combined. Winners are selected by random drawing, not by the highest game score. Limit one weekly prize per person or household.

How to enter the Hallmark Christmas Movie Game

1. Open Hallmark’s official game below and register for a free account, or sign in.
2. Sign in each day for one entry. You do not need to answer trivia to receive this sign-in entry.
3. Complete optional trivia packs, polls, games and other activities while signed in to earn more entries.

Each game day runs from 9 a.m. ET through 8:59:59 a.m. ET the following morning. Entries count toward the applicable weekly drawing and the grand-prize drawing. Promotional email signup is optional.

Do you need the correct trivia answers?

Correct answers earn more entries, but a perfect score is not required. Complete every question in a regular trivia pack to earn:

• 0–50% correct: 1 entry.
• 51–80% correct: 2 entries.
• 81–100% correct: 3 entries.

Advanced trivia packs award 3, 4 or 5 entries at those same score levels. Only your first attempt counts; replaying a pack will not improve your entry total. Missed daily packs can be found in the Daily Trivia Archive.

Other options include one entry for the daily poll, three entries per completed microgame per day for Merry Mix-Up and Word Search, and available premiere, badge and bonus activities. Follow each activity’s individual limits.

Deadline and winner reminders

The promotion runs October 14–December 29, 2026, closing at 8:59:59 a.m. Eastern—not midnight. The first weekly period ends October 19 at 8:59:59 a.m. ET. Check the official rules for the remaining weekly periods.

The grand-prize drawing is scheduled around January 5, 2027. Potential winners are contacted by email and must return required verification documents within seven days. Open to eligible residents of the 50 U.S. states, D.C. and Puerto Rico, ages 18+.
